Naturally, the geeks resent that. But, Apple took away no functionality. The fans of ipfw can still use it. What the new firewall does is to keep the firewall off unless an application turns it on. Ipfw is port oriented while Apple's new system is application oriented. Most of Apple's customer would rather not mess with firewalls. Apple knows this and found a way to give them that. Of course, Apple could have done a better job of explaining this. Apple is trying something new; It is trying to make firewalls to be non-geeky. Naturally, the geeks resent that.

I can't say that I would like ipfw more then Apples new method. I think Ill get Apples new method a try seems to be pretty secure. However I guess you could augment it with Little Snitch.
